Lovely Waterloo WL-14XTR for sale. 

Bought from @brucegill of this parish in January 2024. 

Full specs here:
https://www.waterlooguitars.com/wl-14/

Made in 2020. 
This has what Collings describe as the lower profile neck option as opposed to the huge prominent v neck.  It's still a decent size, I'd describe it as a full C shape. 

There a few tiny marks on the back of the neck that you can't feel whilst playing. 
It had a chip on the front that's been repaired (drop filled) and then buffed, so the whole top is a bit shinier compared to how they come in a pure satin finish from the factory. Not glossy per se but a bit shinier than the Satin finish. It looks ace. 

When I got it from Bruce a former owner had added a pickup at some point and drilled under the strap button. 
The hole bugged me enough to get a mahogany plug inserted by my trusted luthier Stuart Palmer (see pics). He also gave it a good set up. 
Current action is approximately 2mm low E and 1.8mm high E at the 12th fret. 

I also bought another set of black Golden Age vintage tuners, the original ivoroid one's are included. The G tuner is a bit tight on the new one's but it's rock solid. One of those guitars you can leave for a few days and it's still in tune when you pick it up again. 

I've had 3 of these and this is the best I've had. Played it alongside a friend's sunburst version and this feels more woody and open. At the time I was contemplating buying a vintage L-00 but didn't want to pay those prices and inherit any potential problems that can
come with going all vintage. This got me 99% there.

It's a fantastic guitar, I'm selling because I have an Iris that is similar enough to not justify keeping both. Plus something else has come up that I fancy.  

Comes with COA and OHC in great condition. 

Price is £1950 which I what I paid plus the bit of work I had done. 

Now £1900. 

Based in South Yorkshire, I have a box so postage is an option at cost. 
No trades thanks, straight sale.
